Lamaita. This stratum, though not above fifty yards thick, is intersected by 

 innumerable greenstone veins and nodules, always running in the direction of 

 the strata ; and as they do not occur in any of the adjoining formations, they 

 must, I presume, be at least as old as tiiat rock. The other basalt is an over- 

 lying rock like that of Saugor ; but it reposes on granite or gneiss, and 

 appears to contain a greater proportion of augite and olivine. 



The calcareous conglomerate must be classed, at least in point of time, with 

 the tufas and concretionary formations so prevalent in India.
